Customer Reviews SOREL Brex™ Boot Cozy Lace Waterproof

I'm giving these boots three stars because they're undeniably cute, but unfortunately, they've been a bit of a pain to break in. I spent two weeks trying to get them to feel comfortable, but despite my efforts, I ended up with two large blisters. The left boot is also noticeably smaller than the right one, which makes it squeeze too tightly around my ankle. I purchased a boot expander to try to alleviate some of the discomfort, but unfortunately, it's still really painful to wear these boots for any length of time. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with these boots. While they certainly look nice, the discomfort and pain that they've caused make it hard for me to recommend them to others. If you do decide to purchase them, I'd highly recommend sizing up and being prepared to spend a fair amount of time breaking them in.

I got them last fall and wore these boots a couple times. Originally I thought I had to break in the boots but I get awful blisters on my ankle even after wearing them a couple times. I feel like these boots need a liner to protect from the stitching and that's what's causing the blisters. I went up a size and I feel like the fit is appropriate. They're super cute and will probably only wear with thick wool socks.

I was almost spooked out of purchasing because of reviews about stiff ankle shafts rubbing on ankle bones. Glad I didn't listen. The boots just need a few hours to break in and they're very comfy!! Good quality too. I love them!

The shoes are really cute, and I got a ton of compliments everywhere. Keeps warm in extreme cold and in the mountains, has great grip and functionality, and feels sturdy. My only complaint is that it takes a while to break into. My ankle got a bit scratched up from a hard and immovable part of the shoe support.

Slightly uncomfortable but super cute!!! Love the height on them too

Great stylish boots. I get complimented all the time. Very comfy. Only concern is stepping in a puddle and getting the fur on the outside dirty. Hasn't happened yet.

These boots are really cute but after getting them they're just not practical for me. They are also bulkier than I expected and I just think I would get sick of the way they look since they're so trendy. I got my normal size (6.5) and they fit true to size. However if you have wide feet then this may not be the style for you. I wore them around my apartment and got blisters right away so they also need some time to break in. Overall they seem like good quality and comfortable but I will be returning for a different sorel boot.

Very stylish, very painful. I assume since they're boots they need time to be broken into, but despite being the right size and wearing perfect socks, I have severe blisters. I will stick it out for a while, they look lovely and are waterproof, stable to wear in snow, but yeah I'm in a lot of pain

Was super excited to get my new boots and wear them out. Fit was great but the ankle cuff had a hard material that was really uncomfortable. It kept rubbing on the side bone of my ankle. Unfortunately, had to return it. Would love to see a version of this boot with a softer liner in the inside of the ankle cuff.

These are so cute but my ankles and heels have blisters and blood because they are so stiff and rub! Unfortunate because of how cute they are but just want to be honest
